  • Recorded at Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, California on December 7, 2001, it is the band's first video album. It is not the band's second video? You forgot 1995's Live Intrusion.
  • Done (fixed)
  • Filmed at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, California on December 7, 2001, (exactly 60 years after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor) War at the Warfield would become Slayer's first music DVD. What "exactly 60 years after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor" has to do with this video?
  • Isn't it a little notable to mention that it was recorded on the 60th anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor?
  • If it was intentionally recorded for that date, or if the theme of the album demonstrates a tilt toward the subject (both require a source), then yes. Otherwise, no. EricLeb01 (Page | Talk) 19:26, 22 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • On July 25, 2003, four days before its release, MTV announced the DVD's contents, stating that it was "recorded at San Francisco's Warfield theater in December 2001," and featured "19 live songs, the unedited video for "Bloodline" from 2001's God Hates Us All and 50 minutes of interview footage." Please turn this quote into plain text. Take a look at Wikipedia:Quotations.

Second opinion by Ericleb01

edit

I'm following up on Cannibaloki's review. I completed an entire copy-edit of the article, but I'm going to have to fail this, mainly because it doesn't cover enough material. The "Bostaph's departure" section does not belong in this article, as, while it does mention the DVD, his leave from the band has nothing to do with it. With that gone, I would recommend you look at other example concert video GAs, such as Number Ones (video) and Celebration: The Video Collection, as well as WP:ALBUM#Article body for some ideas. Also, use a bit less quotations, as it disrupts the flow when reading. This is really close to passing in my book, however, so don't give this up!

  • Release date needs source
  • You should tell us where Jon Wiederhorn is from.
  • You need to source the "Personnel" section with the liner notes.
  • Do you have a source for its director?

Overall, being the short length of the article, there aren't many issues. Looks pretty good. Address these issues.--CallMeNathanTalk2Me 03:06, 11 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
